I'm Ilana — a documentary filmmaker, supervising producer & content strategist specializing in solutions-driven storytelling. I work with mission-driven organizations and foundations to craft stories that move people to care, think, and act.​

 

With roots in news and journalism, I’m drawn to narratives that illuminate the human condition, explore the natural world, and surface actionable responses to the most pressing issues of our time.

​​

I believe in storytelling as a tool for impact when grounded in accuracy, nuance, and emotional truth. Whether I'm developing films or leading creative strategy, I aim to connect busy audiences to stories that matter.​

 

My personal curiosities — mythology, geography, history, systems thinking — inform the lens I bring to my work. At the heart of it all is a fascination with how people make meaning, and how stories can help us imagine better futures.
